Don't do it.

I got in a right mess and had to clean install Vista.
Actually that was a blessing in disguise since
it got shot of all the Dell loaded crapware
but it was a right pain at the time.

Just plug the rat in and it'll work OK.

I have Intellipoint 5.2 which I have been using on my XP machine with a MS
optical USB mouse (2 buttons and wheel). I wanted advice and opinions
before installing it on my new Vista machine because somewhere I read that
it does not work. Thanks in advance for all advice.
